Eset Mobile Anti Virus for Windows Mobile

ESET have announced that they will be a releasing a mobile phone antivirus software application in January 2009.

ESET are the producers of one of the best antivirus (NOD32) and security suites (ESET Smart Security suite) currently available - I’ve personally been using their NOD32 software for over 4 years and have recommended it to many people over the years. One of the best things about it is that it combines good protection while taking up small amounts of resources, so your computer isn’t noticeably slowed down by it.

When I begin using a new computer or set up a new Windows installation, installing a form of anti-virus software on it is one of the first things I do, if not the first thing! Will people want to have to do this with their mobile phones? Or perhaps the handsets will come pre-installed with mobile versions of antivirus applications - I’m not sure if this would be a good thing or a bad thing!

I can understand as mobile phones begin to use and access the Internet in a more traditional and open manner, then it does open up the possibility for the same malicious software and viruses as well as specially designed ones for mobile devices.

This may begin to be an even problematic area is people begin to use them to conduct transactions with, either online or as a form of swiping/scanning currency.

Perhaps we’ll even start to see virus problem on an Apple device in the form of the iPhone, given it’s popularity, perhaps it will make it a viable target for those people who create these viruses and other malicious software?

I suppose the main question is, do mobile phones/devices need antivirus solutions at this point? How much if anything would you pay them on your mobile phone? Do you think that this will become common place?
